"I am very happy to recommend Patra as a wonderful piano teacher. My daughter, Dani, has been working with Patra for almost a year now, and she has gone from dreading piano classes and practice to really enjoying everything about playing piano. Patra taps into the kind of music Dani enjoys and she paces the lessons perfectly so that Dani is learning and progressing at her own rate. Patra has endless patience and a very gentle nature that really makes Dani feel relaxed and happy to learn. Dani now takes herself to the piano and enjoys practicing and playing on her own. Her skills have come a long way and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Patra!"

"What I like about Patra is that she is a good teacher. She teaches me a lot of music that I really like and enjoy playing. One of the songs she taught me was Fur Elise which I really like and when she plays Fur Elise, it sounds exactly how Beethoven played it! She takes the time to teach me how to play a song."
